I want to use an old Toshiba equium 3100 case with new components.
I wonder how can I make the front bezel switches to work with my new board (s775, G45). They are all together in one single adapter, not separate like power,reset.
Any solutions, instead of buying a new case, (I already bought E8400, 550w supply, 4 gigs of ram, asus g45 board, 640gb western, card reader).
Thanks.

You will have to rewire the power switch...look at your old motherboard, which hopefully has these things labeled, so you can correlate wires to the appropriate headers on your new motherboard. Label them with masking tape or something of the sort, and then pull them from the casing it has on it and hook these to the new motherboard on the appropriate header. If you are not very handy or comfortable with doing this kind of modding, then it would probably be worth just buying a new cheap case...I am sure you could find one for $30 that is higher quality.
